The reports should follow the Kingston University report standards, including layout, formatting, referencing, etc. You have to cite relevant sources properly, in order to avoid plagiarism as stated above.

Where appropriate, you may quote passages from a published text or a website, but you must clearly indicate you are doing so and give a reference to the source. A good introduction to searching literature and how to cite references properly is given in the Library Services section of the Kingston University web site.

If two assignments are submitted with identical passages of text, or if an assignment contains text from another source without proper acknowledgement, it will receive 0 marks. This is considered plagiarism and may be subject to further penalties, including expulsion.

This is an individual coursework.

PLAGIARISM:

Plagiarism is unacceptable at Kingston University and is dealt with very severely. To avoid plagiarism you must be sure you understand what plagiarism is, and how to avoid it. The importance of correctly acknowledging the work of others cannot be over-emphasised. It is absolutely essential that specific, detailed references are provided locally within your work for each and every extract you take from work that is not your own. A general reference at the end of a report to a source from which you have extracted text items is not acceptable.

The use of italics and/or inverted commas to highlight text extracts which are not your own original work is a simple way of demonstrating honesty in your work and of avoiding any problems. Each text extract you use should be individually linked to a numbered list of specific references provided at the end of your work.
